SMALGO SYSTEM, model SMALGO is manufactured by Panlab The SMALGO system is a quick and reliable instrument to assess threshold sensitivity of the animal when applying a progressive force. A MUST for osteo-arthritis and pain studies! The SMALGO system fits on your finger (thumb or index) and allows applying easily a force or pressure on the desired location. Designed for OA quantification, it is generally used on the knee joint or on the lumbar vertebrae for low back pain assessment. Moreover, a new feature is available: the Smalgo is now able to deliver TTL signals for electrophysiology applications. The BIO-CIS Software for connection to a computer.
Specification
